The Uniqlo Thread

^ To add to @jet above, they've changed their sizing across the board to more "American" sizing.

Oxfords fit much wider now, almost none of the denim is 100% cotton, etc.

I've found them to be in increasingly inconsistent but not necessarily bad across the board. The heavyweight flannels from last FW were pretty good, the pile no-show socks from this season are solid, Airism stuff is decent, and some of the low-rise trunks are on point (just not the seamless ones; those are misery incarnate). ULD vests haven't changed, nor has the basic heat tech stuff. The MIJ selvedge denim was a rare beast that disappeared all too soon, but maybe it was too good to last in the first place.

Does anyone know if they still have a 100% cotton raw denim? So far I only see 98% on their website. I have a pair from years ago but looking into a new one.

 

[flowcharts]

the sizing is definitely pretty bullshit now. Socks are decent though.

Their underoos are nice.

anyone wear Steteco shorts outside?

The US site seems to be limited to ones that look like boxers, but here in Japan there's a greater variety

I've been wondering if its acceptable to wear them outside as a casual bottom, with a tshirt or something.
the comments on the Japanese reviews generally fall along the lines of "has pockets, good quality, doesn't look cheap, wear it indoors and out"

but I wonder if its acceptable in your city.

Ordered the khaki cotton twill jacket and pants online. The size chart was reasonably accurate. Material and construction are better than Uniqlo's usual offering. The jacket is overpriced I think at $AUD130, but the pants are good value.

what size did you get? I usually wear 50 so idk if i should get M or L

Their underoos are nice.

Which ones? I tried their supima cotton boxer briefs, and found the sizing to be very "off." On a 33" true waist, even the "small" size (claimed to be for "sizes 28-30") was too loose, and that was when at their smallest (right out of the wash). And they stretch so much that it becomes almost comical after an hour or so of wear. Construction quality appears to be good, aside from the sizing issues.

So I guess it's less of a "collab collection" now and more of a higher end line? Like H&M's COS

I am an EU48 in most designer brands and got both pieces in M. 31" natural waist 40" chest.

I guess I meant their regular boxer briefs -- sleek(ish), solid, and reliable. Though I don't pay attention to sizing very much as I prefer my waistbands loose.
